What Headset are you using?

[VILE]

Looking for wired 7.1 surround with microphone. Any suggestions? Mine recently had the usb bend.

Get good non gaming headphones and a standalone microphone, thanks me later for the amazing sound quality over cheap "gamer" looks.

[chinesse warrior]

get any of the steelseries arctis headsets arctis 3 or above.

Surround sound just makes the sound worse and doesn't offer an advantage.

If you do want a headset and not a headphone + mic combo, go for the HyperX Cloud II. (Almost) Headphone level sound quality and a decent-good mic. It also comes with a small external usb soundcard, which does feature 7.1, but again, it mostly makes sound worse.

I'm very happy with my hyper-x revolver headset.
the suspension band is SUPER comfortable and the sound is very good, 32ohm impedence (that's fairly robust). the mic is good enough, and i simply detach it most of the time.

That I can back it up, but 7.1 in headphones is awful, sounds fake and if you listen to music alot, it sounds demixed.

All you people using surround sound and 7.1, meanwhile I play with apple earbuds that came with an iPhone 6+ and I got to diamond, lul.

Probably because you don't hear bass at all, making footsteps even more obvious.

Honestly I'm using Bose earbuds, I can't use headphones because of my glasses.

I hear everything but footsteps, it's terrible. I can only hear footsteps with these things if the enemy is sprinting right above me.

Well it's not a bad thing is such a game where you need to hear them.

Not all the time, just sometimes it's iffy.

Ended up with the G430 from logitech. Seem to be sufficient enough for 40$. Got them at a local best buy.
